Business case

Narrowing a large airport delay claim to the decisive critical-path issues

Situation: Disputes
Arbitration

Context

The designer and project manager of a 10 billion+ USD airport project faced arbitration after significant delays and cost overruns. Completion had taken many years longer than planned, and the owner sought substantial sums in financial compensation.

Key Takeaway

Our work helped the Tribunal focus on the packages, sequences and project-management events that mattered most to the delay case. Under cross-examination, our analysis provided a structured way to test a highly fragmented project record against the respondent’s position.

Accuracy Role

Our experts narrowed a complex airport project record to many of its individual components and the work sequences that were pertinent to the claimant’s case. We designed bespoke prioritisation metrics and performed an As-Planned versus As-Built windows analysis to isolate the causes of critical delay and translate project evidence into hearing demonstratives.
